Rogue Roo has kicked in the final wedge to see us over the line. Good work and many thanks to all that have contributed!

I will send a message to chase up the outstanding pledges so I can tie off this aspect of the venture and get onto Chief to organise your badges and memberships.

Keep an eye out for the prize draws, I will try to PM participants to alert the fact they are open. You will need to state in the relevant thread if you want multiple entries (assuming you paid for them).

I wanted to reach out and provide an update as I am mindful that there hasn’t been a lot of information readily available over the past 6 weeks. We’re still to hear from the AFL on the return to football plan which will outline the timeline and protocols around training, along with the recommencement of matches. We expect the AFL to provide an update in the next 24-48 hours, which will allow us to evaluate the potential impacts for the football club holistically and in turn the AFL Player Sponsorship program.

As outlined below we are committed to delivering the AFL Player Sponsorship program with the AFL’s protocols to dictate what is possible. Should any benefits not be possible in the short term, we will either postpone until later this year or deliver in 2021. Alternatively we can look to replace with a benefit of equal or greater value if that is your preference.

With this in mind I will provide an update collectively by next week as to the Player Sponsorship program and benefits, along with some options for your consideration. We are committed to working with you individually to ensure you are aware of all options available as we know everyone’s circumstances will be different. The support and loyalty provided by all of our key coterie groups has been outstanding, at a time when it’s needed more than ever before so on behalf of the football club we thank you.

Honestly mate, I don’t expect the club to provide anything in this climate. I’d be happy if they forget the bells and whistles for sponsors and instead concentrate on getting through this tough year financially.

Should government restrictions impact our ability to deliver any of the proposed alternatives we will deliver them during 2021.

It’s no secret that your support is as important as ever this year, but our ultimate aim is to deliver the very best version of the Player Sponsorship program that we can. We’ve been blown away by the loyalty of our members throughout this time which we believe has been the best in the league.

Please feel free to come back to me with any questions or feedback on the above. I will look to make contact with you individually to discuss the Player Sponsorship program in further detail.

Following the letter from Ben Amarfio regarding the return of football on June 11, I wanted to provide an update on the AFL Player Sponsorship program.

We are extremely excited to have footy on the horizon, but there is still much uncertainty around the season with many outcomes dictated by government regulations.

We have been advised crowds will not be able to attend matches in the short term, so we’ve had to restructure the program accordingly.

I have summarised the remaining benefits below, along with a note on whether it can be delivered or an alternative option is offered. In the event that government and AFL restrictions are lifted and we can deliver more of our match day benefits we certainly will.
